We want to keep local services and facilities open for the local community. Help us stop Cardiff Council closing and selling Roath Library!

"...the council’s decision-making process had been unlawful, and that it had not properly considered whether it would be operating a comprehensive and efficient library service – as required by law – once the much-criticised closures had gone ahead."

[Tom Watson @tom_watson]

This is a great judgement for all those who value learning, creativity and aspiration over the blinkered, cruel world of Tory austerity.

@BeicioGwenda @Barbara_Elin @OwenLLewJones @cardiffcouncil We saw the plans and it looked like a very nice 'cafe with books'...no reassurances about actual staff. Better than nothing though, which is what we have at the moment.

@BeicioGwenda @Barbara_Elin @OwenLLewJones @cardiffcouncil We met with @cardiffcouncil a few months ago to ask what the situation is re CRI Chapel and it sounded like it could take several more years before fruition! That's if it comes off at all. Felt a like a fob off. No sense of urgency.

David Byrne likes libraries, saying that report shows building a library and other institutions in an area means

"a. The kids�� test scores go up
b. Spousal abuse goes down
c. Obesity goes down
d. The crime rate goes down"

Pleased @CardiffUni Vice Chancellor & CFO participated in @CardiffUCU organised question time today. From what I’m hearing, accepts concerns from @CardiffUCU @UCUWales & @UCU about pension scheme valuation methodology. Now needs to get @UniversitiesUK to move on this #USSStrike

Jesus Christ and with all due respect @unisontweets but when oh when are we going to see a fight back against library cuts/closures, a national ballot/demo would be a start. We're getting torn apart out here.

Cathays Public Library in the snow in 1914. Opened in 1907 & refurbished in 2010. Saved by anti-austerity protest in 2015.

Good luck to #USSstrike! We support uni librarians as well. Quality education, not marketization. https://t.co/tQZBvAcDzT

@roathcardiff Three long years...still waiting for a decent library service that was temporarily removed.

[saveroathlibrary @OurRoathLibrary]

Great for the building, but what is happening with the Library in CRI? 3 long years of being told the removal of library services in a deprived area, was 'temporary'. https://t.co/o6COubCkVL

[saveroathlibrary @OurRoathLibrary]

#RoathLibrary - closed 'temporarily' 3yrs ago today!

[saveroathlibrary @OurRoathLibrary]

Hear hear https://t.co/KQCXLniLOa

[Adam Johannes @DrRoundglasses]

And remember the thousands of people across our city who took to the streets in 2015 to save our library service!
